Sunsets are king in St. Kitts, an island renowned for beauty more than wild nights out. That’s not to say there isn’t plenty of excitement to be had in the evenings over a frosty tropical drink or with music and dancing. Your best bet is to stay close to Basseterre and Frigate Bay area, where most of the bars and nightclubs are found.
